Colton Standridge reportedly responded to his parents by squeezing their hand over the weekend at Egleston Children's Hospital, where he remains in stable condition.

On Monday, plans were to take him off of the sedatives he has been on since the accident on Aug. 18 and see how he responds. He continues to have swelling of his brain with the degree of pressure fluctuating. He also reportedly had a temperature over the weekend.

Standridge, 13, received serious head injuries when he was struck by a car while driving a four-wheeler on Cabin Creek Road, near Nicholson.

Colton is a eighth grader at EJMS. His father, Warren Standridge, is a coach and teacher at JCCHS. His mother, the former Tammy Booth, is a kindergarten teacher at East Jackson Elementary School. Both are graduates of JCCHS.
